“I was lucky to be a part of an amazing WeConnect session, where I got the opportunity to interview Mr. Humayun. The students and I got an insight into an entrepreneur's journey and experience. I was able to learn the fundamentals of launching a business, avoiding common traps, improving pitching skills, developing a sound business strategy, and positioning oneself for success in a market where failure is a possible outcome. The fact that he does so many other activities other than running his business has motivated me to work on my dreams. As I had been chosen to interview Mr. Jameel alongside a fellow student, I was able to work on my communication skills as well as my professionalism. I'm grateful for this opportunity.”

“While the WeConnect session with Mr. Jameel was exceptional, the highlight of my day remains to be the opportunity I got to interview him one-on-one. There was so much to learn and absorb from his experiences. Even though I had prepared my questions for the interview round well in advance, when the interview commenced, more than a Q&A session, it became a conversational piece. I couldn't hold back from asking the questions that I hadn't even prepared to ask. Mr. Jameel had so much wisdom to share about starting up a business, managing it on a day-to-day basis, moving from the role of an employee to the role of an entrepreneur, as well as leading by example for his employees by attaining a work-life balance. At the end of the interview, he told a fellow student and I that he believes we're "going to be successful", and his words have motivated me to do better and give my best in every arena of my life.”.
